Suspension Noise - Worse when wet!
Hi all,
The car is question is a 2001 2.0 v6 saloon with 115k on it. Since buying the car I have had the strut top mounts, track rod ends & lower suspension arm replaced (the latter on the offside). In January 2018 I began getting a hint that a drop link may have been on its way out (nearside) as the nearside of the car was just ever so slightly noisier over bumps in the road than the offside, however it never really got any worse and nothing was noted on the MOT. During the winter the nearside suspension started giving a 'graunchy' noise when setting off or coming to a standstill - but ONLY when the weather was wet. This year I mentioned it to my garage when the car went in for its MOT (April) but again nothing untoward found. Since April I've put about 4000 miles on the car and now that corner is getting reasonably knock, but again, ONLY in wet weather. Had the car checked out yesterday and nothing untoward found (different garage this time - as convenience dictated around my workplace). Any ideas? Hopefully it's just a bush or something? It had taken a year and a half to get this bad (circa 8k miles). |
